The 2026 FIFA World Cup is only a few months away, and international football federations are getting ready to make the trip to North America for the highly anticipated tournament. Of course, with the entire globe focusing on Canada, the United States, and Mexico for the next few months, sportswear brands have made a big push to include football (or soccer if you reside in America) in their release calendars. Nike’s plans include a few sneakers made in collaboration with football federations, including the Brazilian Football Confederation.
Though it may not seem obvious at first due to the metallic silver and black color palette, the Brazilian Nike Shox R4 features the Brazilian Football Confederation’s badge and “Brasil” branding along the tongue. Five stars honoring their five World Cup victories are laid above the CBF badge, ending the direct branding details for the international powerhouse. Hits of yellow on the midfoot Swoosh and bursts of blue on the four Shox pillars on the heel finish the look.
Nike also has plans for three other federation-badged footwear collaborations in the coming months. Included in this are an Air Force 1 Low for the United States, an Air Max Plus for France, and an Air Max 95 for England. However, don’t think this is all The Swoosh has in store for the World Cup. Expect to see plenty more football tie-ins across various sneakers and apparel collections before, during, and after the tournament.
The Nike Shox R4 Brazil will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $155.
